		Then, the City proved to the local community just how effective green roofs are; a simpler, more affordable extensive green roof system was installed on the Center for Green Technology, one of the first LEED Platinum-certified facilities in the country.
		Chicago’s Center for Green Technology was built to educate architects and the public about green building practices.
		There are six green roof plots and they’re being monitored as far as their ability to lower the temperatures of the structure underneath them and the ambient temperature compared to a gravel ballast roof, a white reflective roof, and a dark roof.

	The Campaign for Better Transit
		Transit and community activists have long argued that the combined effect of poor quality service, and service cutbacks along with fare increases have driven ridership away from public transportation. They have criticized CTA for being inattentive and unresponsive to their “customers,” the riding public.
		Strengthening the basis for Chicago minority transit riders’ complaint to the Federal Transit Administration is the Supreme Court’s rulings that “the disparate impact standard applies in Title VI administrative proceedings... brought to enforce the Title VI implementing regulations that incorporate such a standard”. (Lee in Bullard and Johnson, p.
		The Federal Transit Administration Office of Civil Rights has been slow in responding to the letters of complaint filed by minority transit riders.

		Everything that has happened in Chicago since the 1980s, where neighborhoods went from dismal and grey (remember Hill Street Blues?) and evolving into this city full of life and greenery and well-kept gardens with beautiful parkways and brightly-lit streets that are safe and welcoming and full of activity to enjoy...

	TRACKLESS TROLLEYS and BOSTON'S ARBORWAY LINE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Some cable lines were converted, as all probably would have been if not for the historic sensitivities of cable car “activists” who were able to save three currently operating lines.
		One such case was the matter of the Arborway Lines on Boston’s Metropolitan Transit Authority, a heavily patronized system which extended public transportation from the MTA’s Main Line (now the Orange Line), and the Arborway trolley line (Green Line), south to Roslindale, West Roxbury, and Hyde Park.
		Both the Arborway and Forest Hills were a thriving transit hub at the time, and I wished that I had had the luxury of a camera in those early days to capture some of it on film.
